Got any recs for a nice hotel preferably near the arena that I will not have to sell my silver collection to stay at? I usually stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites right down from the Bridgestone Arena but it is booked out the night I am looking at coming down. The Hilton across the street is $319 a night.

I hate to admit this, but the wife and I are going to the Pink concert on March 2nd.

On a postive note, I was just searching the local site I mentioned earlier in this thread and instead of searching "coins" in collectibles, I searched "dollar" and found a guy selling Morgan's and Peace dollars for $30. Sent him an email, waiting to hear back.

Can't speak for anyone else but I'm looking forward to seeing your collection and have been since you posted you would post pics of your collection (queue Bromance meme ). To me coins and their history are extremely interesting and make for a great hobby.

Just as a heads up to those in BR or near the EBR area, there's going to be a coin show at the Holiday Inn on airline near near the interstate on February 9 & 10 (Saturday & Sunday) where you'll be able to buy & sell coins as well as get your coins 'graded'. I've read one place that said the show was 8, 9 &10 but one that said it was on 9 & 10 but I did read that its supposed to be the first one in BR in 25 years. Personally I've never been to a coin show myself but seeing as how I grew up on comic books and sports cards in the late 80's through mid 90's, I'm looking forward to it. I used to go to the same Holiday Inn for comic/card shows when I was younger and it almost makes me feel like a kid again, but this time with coins, things that hold their value and I can actually buy things this time

I took the photos last night, and just finished uploading them. Quality of photo isn't great, I had to make do with my cellphone. Here is a portion of my collection (the meat of my collection that is) that I will display for the time being:

Walking Liberty Half Dollars:

1987 Silver Eagle:

1922 S Peace Dollar:

1922 Painted Peace Dollar:

*I was unable to read the mint mark due to the paint. This was given to me several years back that I dug up a few weeks ago.
